famous concubine

Chapter 111: A Difficult Situation (3)
"This..." Concubine Nian glanced at Aunt Shen out of the corner of her eyes, but hesitated to speak.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Aunt Shen's loyalty to the Empress Dowager, it's just that what she's going to say is of great importance and involves extremely confidential matters, so the less people know about it, the better.

Aunt Shen can do this, so her ability to observe people is naturally a bit better than others; she said respectfully at the moment: "My servant, go out and make a cup of tea for your mother."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Shen, who had only the corner of her clothes still by the door, looked down at the quiet woman, and said indifferently, "Tell me, why are you here looking for Ai's family?"

Concubine Nian naturally saw that the Empress Dowager was displeased, she sighed silently in her heart, she knew that the influence of the Empress Dowager in the court was by no means comparable to that of a concubine who also lived in the deep palace for a long time, if she had no choice but to come here at this time Annoy the Queen Mother.

Concubine Nian did not speak, but just took out something from her body and handed it to the Queen Mother. It was written by Feng Yu herself, and she was urged to hand over the letter to the Queen Mother herself.

The Empress Dowager took it over, but did not pull out the letterhead immediately, but raised her eyebrows coldly, and stared at Concubine Nian fiercely, "This is..."

Concubine Nian made an uncomfortable smile, and said softly: "Yu'er wrote to you. He asked someone to hand over the letter to the concubine after all the hard work. The concubine knew that the matter was important and did not dare to delay, so I have come to you in person, without telling the guards outside the Shunhua Palace."

"Yu'er?" Seeing that her face was pale, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and restrained her sharp breath a little. She knew Feng Yu's temper well. He looked cynical on the outside, but he was actually a very responsible and filial child.

Regarding the poisoning of the emperor, she also didn't believe that it was Feng Yu's hands. First, she believed in Feng Yu's character, and second, Feng Yu had no motive for poisoning.

The reason why she has been quietly watching the changes is that on the one hand, she wants to see Feng Yu's ability;

And the most important thing is that the emperor has been in a coma, and this matter can be concealed for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the public. They are all trash who can only eat. Seeing that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, there is nothing he can do at all, and he has nothing to do.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt a dull pain in her forehead. In case... then only the crown prince, the heir apparent, could ascend to the throne, and the Leng clan had been at odds with the You clan represented by the empress and the prime minister for many years.

No one knows better than her what it means to the Leng clan if the crown prince ascends the throne.

Thousands of thoughts turned in an instant, and the Queen Mother slowed down and said, "Did he find something?"

Concubine Nian said: "The concubine doesn't know, he just confessed and asked the concubine to hand over this letter to you, saying that you will understand after reading the letter."

After hearing what she said, the queen mother opened the envelope and took out the letterhead, and slowly read it.

The more she looked down, the colder the Empress Dowager's face became, and even her drooping eyes gradually released a cold and terrifying aura.

After reading the letter, the queen mother did not speak for a long time, but the sleeves that were originally resting on the armrest of the chair trembled slightly.

Concubine Nian saw that her expression was cold and stern, her pure eyes couldn't help overflowing with worry, she tentatively called out: "Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager looked over slowly, with a faint stern look in her sharp eyes, she looked at Nian Guifei's charming face, and after a long while, she slowly said: "Go back and tell the person who sent you the letter, just say, just say Aijia Those things will be handled with caution.”

"Empress Dowager" Concubine Nian's eyes were worried. Looking at the Empress Dowager's solemn expression, she secretly guessed that Yu'er must have said something very important in the letter, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not behave so abnormally. Since she entered the palace, she almost I have never seen the queen mother so excited before, after thinking for a while, I couldn't help but said softly: "Can the concubine help me?"

The Empress Dowager stared quietly at Concubine Nian for a long time. This cousin's niece was too weak and kind-hearted. If she hadn't been taking care of her secretly on weekdays, how could Concubine Nian have lived peacefully in the palace.

After a long while, the queen mother slowly shook her head, and said lightly: "As long as you take good care of yourself and don't let Ai's family worry, you are helping Ai's family the most."

Concubine Nian was stunned, feeling a little sad, she knew that she couldn't imitate the Queen Mother's skills, and she didn't have much ability, maybe what the Queen Mother said was right, she helped the Queen Mother a lot by not adding trouble to the Queen Mother.

It's just Yu'er... Her Yu'er is still locked up in the sky prison. If no evidence can be found to prove his innocence, thinking of this, Concubine Nian's heart tightens. No, His Majesty will be fine, her Yu'er Nothing will happen.

The queen mother will definitely not let them have trouble!
The queen mother quietly watched her expression change, her face gradually paled, and finally she could not bear it, and said: "Believe in the Ai family, Yu'er will be safe and sound, now, the Ai family will send you back to Shunhua first." Go to the palace, don't let the queen's people see any flaws."

Concubine Nian tightened her hands under her sleeves, forced a faint smile, and said, "My concubine is causing you trouble, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager suddenly let out a long sigh, and said quietly: "Ning Ya, no matter inside or outside the palace, you and I are all one family, so don't say such unreasonable things in the future."

Concubine Nian's eyes flashed with astonishment, she didn't know whether she was shocked by the Queen Mother's sigh or by the emotional words.

The Empress Dowager led a group of people to the Shunhua Palace. Those guards who were ordered by the Empress to imprison the Nian Guifei naturally did not dare to stop the Empress Dowager. After they entered, someone quietly went out and reported the matter to the Empress.

After the queen learned about it, she rushed over in a hurry. Now that the emperor is still poisoned, if the queen mother dares to stand up and favor Nian noble concubine at this time, she will find a good reason to suppress the queen mother severely.

However, when the empress arrived at Shunhua Palace, the empress dowager had already left, leaving her filled with resentment to nothing.

After being annoyed for a long time, the empress looked in the direction of Luoxia Palace, and a sneering smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As long as Luo'er can rush back to the imperial capital as planned, then everything in the harem will be decided by her!

The queen glanced at the Shunhua Palace surrounded by guards, then slowly turned and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the Empress Dowager returned to Luoxia Palace from Shunhua Palace, she secretly summoned several people, including the Commander of the Forbidden Army who was in charge of the safety of the imperial capital, and the relatives of the Leng family who served in the Ministry of War.

After these people went out, the imperial capital remained calm and the whole city was put under martial law on the same day.Four city gates, at twelve hours a day, twice as many guards were arranged in the open and dark places to guard and patrol, and the checks on the people entering the city were particularly strict. After checking layer by layer like a sieve.

In fact, not only are the four city gates of the imperial capital particularly strict; there are checkpoints set up on all the roads leading to the imperial capital thirty miles away from the imperial capital, and all those who want to enter the imperial capital have already been checked in front of them. first round of screening.
